A very pleasant cruise

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Sirena

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

The Sirena is one of 4 small ships owned by the upmarket Oceania Cruises. The selling features are its small size, under 700 passengers, no crowds, lines, and children. The officers, staff and crew could not have been nicer. I was impressed by Carson Turner, a super - talented cruise director… a really affable guy who is also a talented singer and performer. Actually, the entire ...

Sailed Oceania on Riviera and Regatta and was really looking forward to Vista. The ship is beautiful and the staff everywhere were wonderful…they are who keeps this line afloat. The food was good but not great. There was a hit or miss to it as well..one night Polo was good the next time not so good. Ember was terrible “beignets” were donut holes and the lobster roll pure mayo. The same food ...

Poor costumer service

My wife and I are very disappointed by the continue poor service across the ship. A significant portion of the staff don't care or acknowledge you when asking a question. I was shocked. Also, this cruise has no one under 65 years old. Also this new ship, Vista, pollutes terribly with black smoke from the engines. Surprise for a new ship. Food is good, not great. Ship is not structured well, ...

This would be our 4th Oceania cruise. We've sailed on Marina and Riviera. We are Elite Plus on Celebrity. We have also sailed with Viking, Azamara, and Royal Caribbean. We found out that we love the small ships. Oceania always excelled in making us feel special. We rarely had problems with Oceania. then there was Vista Embarkation was easy. We dropped off our luggage around 1:30 and parked at ...

Hard to believe this ship is a new build! It cruises like a bucket!

(This is the same review I gave directly to the front dest while on board. We have had zero response.) It is extremely hard to believe this ship is a new build in 2023. The movement of the ship once it left the port of Miami was intense as it was each time the ship was moving. The noise in the aft concierge cabin -- sounding much like a washing machine -- was constant for the first two days AND ...

Maybe I'm spoiled from pre-pandemi cruising

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary/timing and the fact that Oceania is considered "near luxury". This ship has most assuredly seen its finer day. It is dated and old feeling. Peeling paint on bathroom door. Discolored areas around doors and floor in tiny (very, very tiny) shower. I was told that men were going to the Spa to shower because they couldn't fit into the shower. Now maybe ...

Mostly Met Expectations

4 1/2 stars. We were a couple with a B2 balcony on the E Caribbean cruise and had sailed on sister ship Regatta in Fr Polynesia roughly a year earlier (recommended). I think the 'overview' description of both ships as being smaller and therefore 'quieter' with fewer activities is really useful for first-timers to understand. It's true that the passenger profile skews older but we met (and met ...

Almost a Five Star Ship

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Simply put, the only reason the Vista did not rate a fifth star was the inconsistent service and dining experiences, but more on that later. The ships is beautiful and tastefully decorated throughout. With a full complement of only 1200 passengers there are rarely any lines and it was always possible to find a seat in the buffet area. We booked one of the few "juliet" balcony balconies which ...

Ah, the joys of cruising - where the seas are salty, and the passengers, well, are seasoned. This particular floating adventure, which I affectionately dubbed "A Floating Nursing Home," was an experience that could make even the most patient person reconsider their life choices. We usually prefer the opulence of Seaborn cruises, but due to some cosmic misalignment of schedules, we found ...

10+ Cruises • Age 80s

We chose this cruise as we like cruises that are at least 14 days long… this being a 17 day cruise was perfect and also on the recommendations of our Oceania cruising friends. However, it quickly became clear that Vista was unable to meet our high expectations . Our first night at dinner in the Grand Dining Room it took over 3 hours to serve our meal! Sometimes the service was excellent but ...
